chapter 8

Lisa was not given any opportunity to speak whatsoever. Zara approached Lisa and invited her to eat. Upon observing Lisa's complicated expression, Zara couldn't contain her excitement and smiled while joking, 'How is it? Is the view from the back row pleasant?'

Lisa thought about Scott's attractive jawline that had been unintentionally revealed while he was sleeping and nodded, remarking, 'Very handsome.' Confused, Zara asked, 'What?' Lisa replied seriously for a moment, 'Never mind, let's go eat first.' Zara's attention was then diverted again, and the two of them went to the cafeteria together.

Since students at No. 1 Middle School are not allowed to leave the premises except during the afternoon break, the cafeteria becomes incredibly crowded during lunchtime. The news of Lisa's return to school had already spread throughout the entire campus early in the morning. When she and Zara arrived in the cafeteria together, they immediately became the center of attention. As soon as Noah finished placing his lunch tray down and sat down, his friend approached him and said, "Hey, hey, hey, look over there!"

Noah followed the boy's line of sight and saw Lisa and Zara.

The boy's voice was a little excited: "Isn't that Lisa? She really didn't go back with her biological parents!"

One person interjected: "I don't know if you have seen the news, but the cars her biological parents drive are Porsches! The family is rich! I don't know what she thinks. If it were me, I would go back with my biological parents to enjoy their happiness!"

A group of people laughed immediately after hearing this and said one after another, "Then you should go back quickly and ask your parents to see if you have any other parents." Everyone burst into laughter.

Noah ate his meal quietly with his eyes lowered, without any intention of speaking. The friend next to him came over again and asked in a low voice: "Why do you think Lisa doesn't go back with her biological parents?"

Noah lazily opened his eyelids and said indifferently: "I don't know, I don't care about her affairs."

His friend suddenly laughed mischievously: "I know you don't care, but—" he deliberately prolonged his tone, poked Noah with his arm, and lowered his voice, "But in our class, who doesn't know that Lisa has a crush on you?! Isn’t it because she doesn’t want to leave you that she doesn’t go back with her biological parents?" This guess was well-founded, and the crowd booed again.

Lisa's crush on Noah was an open secret throughout the second year of high school. Noah has good grades and is handsome. His parents are famous entrepreneurs in Nan City. There are countless boys and girls in No. 1 Middle School who have a crush on him. The reason why this group of people will remember Lisa is not only because Lisa is really good-looking, but also because her grades are a head above Noah.

Although Noah usually seems to be indifferent to everything, people who know him well know that he cares very much about his own achievements. Although he didn't say anything about the fact that Lisa's grades were better than his, he still cared about it in his heart. So even though Lisa often greeted Noah, Noah didn't look at her twice.

But Lisa was obviously more perseverant than they thought, and she actually insisted on staying with Noah for half a year. As time passed, the news that Lisa liked Noah spread widely.

Just at this time, Lisa and Zara had prepared their meals and were about to find a place to sit down. Someone with sharp eyes saw Lisa glance towards them, and the cheers suddenly became louder. "She is coming!" "Lisa will definitely sit here!"

Noah's handsome eyebrows suddenly twisted up. He raised his eyes coldly and was about to say that if Lisa came over, he would leave first. But before he could say anything, he saw Lisa and Zara bypassing them and heading towards the private room inside. The air was quiet for a moment.

After a few seconds, someone asked in surprise, "Why didn't Lisa sit over?" "Didn't you see Noah?" "How is that possible?! No matter where Noah is, she can always find Noah at a glance!" "Is it possible that she has moved on to someone else?" Someone couldn't help but say something. Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Noah in unison.

Noah pursed his lower lip, and his face suddenly turned ugly. "What? You want to sit with her? Then you can invite her." After saying these words, Noah walked out of the cafeteria with a cold face. Everyone looked at each other and didn't speak again.

Scott was sitting at the table behind Noah and the others, and he listened to every word of the conversation of this group of people. After Noah left, he slowly took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then left with the dinner plate.

...

After Lisa and Zara finished eating, Zara returned to the classroom. Lisa walked outside alone for a while before walking slowly to the classroom. After a whole morning, Lisa completely adapted to high school life. Lisa was in a particularly good mood to have a chance to get her life back on track.

So when the girl from the next class stopped her and asked her to help deliver the love letter to Scott, she agreed without thinking. There was no one in the last two seats at the back of the classroom. It was obvious that Scott hadn't returned yet. Lisa lowered her head and glanced at the pink envelope in her hand, and then at Scott's table where there was no book. After thinking about it, she decided to stuff the love letter into the table.

It’s a love letter after all, so it shouldn’t be too blatant! But it shouldn't be stuffed too far inside; otherwise, Scott would definitely not be able to see it. Lisa sat down and looked down at Scott's table. When she was hesitating where to put the love letter, she heard a pleasant voice - "What are you doing?"

Lisa turned around and met Scott's deep and beautiful eyes. Scott's eyes slowly moved down and landed on the love letter in Lisa's hand. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes: "For me?"

Lisa nodded. Scott suddenly realized: "It turns out that you have really moved on."

Lisa: "What?"

After being stunned for a short time, Lisa quickly came to her senses and followed Scott's gaze to see the love letter in her hand. She almost blurted out, "This is not mine; it was given to you by someone else."

Scott had a cold face and said in a clear tone, "I know."

He had received too many love letters, and everyone who confessed to him said so.

Lisa watched Scott sit down next to her with a natural expression, reached out to take the love letter from her hand, and put it into the desk.

Scott shouldn't have misunderstood, right?

Lisa decided to explain more: "I just met the girl in the next class. She knew that I changed seats next to you, so she asked me to give it to you."

Scott nodded very lightly.

She also made up a non-existent girl, which is unnecessary.

He can understand.

Noah is indeed not as handsome as him, so it is normal for her to fall in love with someone else.

  Lisa didn't have the ability to read minds, so naturally, she didn't know what her cold, cool, and handsome deskmate was thinking at this moment.

Seeing that Scott's expression remained normal, she thought that Scott had no more misunderstandings and breathed a sigh of relief.

It happened that the bell for the formal class rang at this time. Lisa withdrew her thoughts and focused on the textbook in front of her.

After Lisa returned to Lu's family in her previous life, she never went to school again.

Finn and Jade pretended to be tutors for Lisa, but in fact, from that time on, they had already begun planning how to make Lisa die "normally."

In order to exchange the identities of Lisa and Lucy without anyone noticing, they must cut off all of Lisa's social relationships as much as possible.

The fewer people who know Lisa, the less likely it is that the exchange of identities between the two will be discovered when they exchange Lisa's heart for Lucy.

That's why the Lu family didn't allow Lisa to contact Samantha and Peter, let alone send her to school. Lisa was even excluded from the Lu family's gatherings.

At that time, Lisa didn't understand. She just thought that she had not been completely accepted by her family, so she cautiously tried to please everyone in the family, but she only received cold looks from these people.

It wasn't until she was pinned down on the operating table by everyone in the Lu family in her previous life that Lisa completely figured out the key to it in an instant.

It was like an airtight net surrounded Lisa's entire body. Her chest heaved violently, and her breathing became rapid.

 "Are you okay?" A pleasant male voice sounded in Lisa's ears.

Lisa suddenly came back to her senses and turned her head to look into Scott's calm eyes. The boy's pupils were very dark, which made his eyes even more profound.

"How…."

Scott glanced at Lisa's hand.

Only then did Lisa realize that she had grabbed Scott's school uniform jacket at some point. The blue and white jacket was wrinkled by her grip, and Scott even leaned over slightly.

Lisa's hand suddenly retracted and almost bounced away.

"Sorry, I…."

"It's okay." Scott put away his coat and looked at Lisa with an "I understand" look.

  Everyone who has a crush on him will seize the opportunity to show their presence in front of him every time, and he has become accustomed to it.

But Lisa is not as annoying as others. She has a good-looking face and a faint smell of...milk?

It smelled so good that Scott didn't mind it that much.

But procrastinating like this wouldn't work. He had to find a time as soon as possible to clearly reject Lisa, lest Lisa fall in love with him more and more during the time he was her deskmate.

Being too handsome is also a problem!

Lisa didn't have as many inner dramas as Scott. When Scott said it was okay, Lisa was embarrassed for a while, then put the matter behind her and listened to the class seriously.

  In her previous life, when Lisa was forced onto the operating table, it happened to be the second day after the college entrance examination.

So now that she started taking high school classes again, Lisa didn't feel any discomfort and quickly caught up with the teacher's pace.

Several classes passed by in the blink of an eye, and the last class in the afternoon was class 1’s physical education class.

The physical education teacher took the whole class to do a simple stretching exercise, had them run two laps, and then announced the disbandment.

High school students always have the best energy. As soon as the physical education teacher announced the disbandment, someone organized a basketball game over there.

Chris was also a little eager to try. He asked Scott, "Scott, do you want to play?"

Scott shook his head lazily. He was a bit of a germophobe.

Although his motor nerves have always been very developed, he particularly dislikes the sticky feeling on his body.

If he couldn't find a place to take a shower immediately after exercising, Scott would rather stay still.

Chris had long been accustomed to Scott's lazy look. When he saw his refusal, he stopped trying to persuade him and turned around to find someone to play with.

Class 1's physical education class has always been scheduled together with Class 6, the top class. Today, there is plenty of time. The physical education committee members of the two classes together decided to have a small competition.

  Class 1 is an ordinary class. Although the students' grades are not very good, when it comes to playing ball, one is better than the other.

The people in Class 6 didn't want to lose, so they put their hope in Noah.

"Noah, we must win!" The sports committee member put his arm around Noah's shoulders and pleaded with him.

Noah couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

The sun is not bright in spring, but the afternoon sun is constantly refracting on the rubber court, and the temperature of the court is inevitably a bit high.

As soon as there was a small competition, the surrounding students gathered around. The cheers and shouts, as well as the "dong dong" sound of the basketball hitting the ground, attracted students from other grades to stop.

After all, there is a winner or loser in the game. With Chris's perfect three-pointer hitting the frame, this small game came to an end.
